A process based Group art exhibition
curated by Artist rafiqul shuvo
Dhaka art center, Dhaka, Bangladesh
December 1-7, 2012
Concept of the show:
It was an open call exhibition. Curator called for artists by asking them what will be the each individual artist's role/position in that show and also asked to discourse / analyze “Mourn” based on few questions below:
“Problem is, emotion is converted into routine all the time?
Why emotion is converted into routine all the time?”
“Sensors-damaged or missing?
Why Sensors-damaged or missing?”
“A place under discussion is always fluid?
Why A place under discussion is always fluid?”
“Is there any possibility of authenticity or it is not required?
Why Is there no possibility of authenticity?”
“I do not know what I protest
Why I do not know what I protest?”
This was a process-based show with three layers, consisting of collecting artworks friendly discussions on perspectives on art including: stating, explaining, defending, one's position as one is sourcing, linking, modifying, molding, tuning, overlapping etc to make art. At the final stage, selected works showcased and the participants passed a pleasant time discoursing art and related issues.
The process may be termed as make-discuss-act or act-discuss-make.
in the end, the show was an attempt at presenting a perfect blend of earlier two layers.
